Answer:

Habitat manipulation

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat manipulation, otherwise known as ecological engineering, is a technique of promoting natural enemies within an ecosystem by making thriving conditions more suitable for them.

In this case, thriving conditions for the species (which happens to be predators and hence, natural enemies) were promoted via artificial introduction of food.
